Hairline filler – A lift from above

The ultimate love in my “background work” is filler delivered under the hairline. It creates an effective anchor, indirectly lifting the tail of the eyebrow and / or arch of the cheek without injecting into the face itself.

Assessment is made by moving the tissue to feel and see what the best trajectory is for the desired outcome. Under local anaesthetic cover, a cannula is gently inserted into the superficial tissue plane to layer appropriate filler at the most effective anchor points. This creates subtle lift to the face without injecting filler directly into the face, creating more volume where volume may not be desired or indicated.

If you follow the vector of the cheekbone, back into the hairline, it is possible to marry this advanced technique with subtle sculping of the cheek bones, if indicated and desired. This is always carried out with respect for the individual parameters of anatomy, by micro sculpting the filler. The outcome is a confluent flow of tissue with subtle lift and contour.

It works well above to temporal hollow also and may be combined with filler directly to the temples if the temple hollow is creating a bony orbit of the eye, which will benefit from volumising and softening.

All in the name of creating better surface tension for the tissue, hairline filler is an extremely subtle yet effective procedure. Delivered under local anaesthetic there is a potential sense of mild pressure and an “odd’ sensation but there is no pain to speak of.

This has become a firm favourite amongst patients with adequate facial volume who are seeking further, subtle lift.
